A STUDY OF THE ANTIGENIC STRUCTURE OF THE PLAGUE BACILLUS (PASTEURELLA PESTIS EV NIIEG) WITH THE AID OF DIFFUSION PRECIPITATION IN AGAR
Abstract
Conclusions: A scheme has been proposed for the distribution of 28 precipitation zones, caused by antigenic substances of the plague bacillus (P. pestis EV NIIEG) cultivated on a medium of caseinic acid hydrolysate. The distribution has been studied of the antigens in fractions from an extract of plague bacillus which were obtained by separation with ammonium sulfate. The heterogeneity was shown of fraction I of Baker et al. which consists of at least 6 components. The purity was confirmed of fractions IA and IB isolated according to the scheme of Baker et al. from an admixture of other antigens.
